I'm glad this was said because I think there's a spotlight on "women in tech" right now and all that's being said is how hard it is to be a woman. Yes there is a glass ceiling in tech for women but consider how easy it is for women to get to that ceiling versus being a man. Given the previous study that said companies more likely hire men when names are removed from an application - it makes me curious about what it would be like to be a woman in tech. Would I get more interviews? Would my blog posts and tweets get shared more because women get better exposition in the developer communities? Women have to try hard to break that ceiling, but men have to try harder to get there. Being in a minority puts you in a spotlight - people pay attention to you. That doesn't make discrimination or sexual harassment okay and I'm not saying women should count their chickens but I can't help but feel numb to some of the noise that surrounds this issue.
